  Long term review (after 3 years) - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By mtach3 - January 18 - 8:06 pm

  I wrote my first review a month after I had it.I still love it after 3 years, but I had to replace the engine and tranny.The warranty I bought with the car covered ALL the repairs.The tranny was easy, but the engine was a problem.It kept overheating and it took 9 attempts before the dealership figured out the engine block had a clog.Because they kept returning the car to me without properly repairing it,the motor died.In the process they replaced every part of the cooling system.Finally,they replaced the motor with a brand new one from GM.Most of this issue was due to a bad service center.If they fixed it right the first time it would have cost them $400. Instead, it was $9,000. Duh!!

  Low Mileage Driver - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Gordon Martyn - January 6 - 12:36 pm

  My 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora has low mileage. It is driven mostly in the city and suburbs on fairly heavily traveled roads. It is the only car I have ever had that didnt require any repairs or recalls. It performs beautifully, has good pickup and gets fairly good mileage. The ride isnt the most comfortable but it is adequate. I am very satisfied with this car.

  An Excellent Value! - 2003 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Infrany - November 19 - 10:00 am

  The Aurora rides very quietly, is well appointed with all of the controls thoughtfully located within easy reach of the driver. Our V-6 engine is not as powerful as the larger V8 but is more than adequate for highway driving. We found the standard sound system to be the best we have ever experienced- perhaps better than a home stereo system! With Oldsmobile incentives and rebates this car was a steal compared to the Cadillac/Lexus/Lincolns in its sticker price class and market. With Caddy rumored to pick up the Aurora line when Oldsmobile folds, this car should more than hold its own in value, performance, and longevity. We love it!

  2001 Aurora - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Joelin - November 15 - 10:00 am

  This is the best Olds Ive ever owned and Ive owned quite a few of them. Traded in a 98 Taurus for this car and am I glad I did. The gas mileage for a big car is excellent, much better than the Taurus, 29+.

  Underrated car/excellent used bargain... - 1998 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By hammen2 - October 18 - 2:00 am

  Used-car sleeper. Very distinctive (few on the road; bargain on the used market due to death of Olds). Similar to $50k Caddy STS; mine stickered over $40k, but I got it used w/27k miles for $17k). Styling? love it or hate it (I LOVE it). Base is loaded, few options. Mechanically, hit-or-miss (GM build quality issues). Mine, other than water pump, has been mechanically solid (was for the 1st owner - check maintenance history!). Lots of technology - a third-party extended warranty is recommended.

  2003 olds aurora - 2003 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By lionman73 - September 18 - 12:34 pm

  bought a 95 aurora when they first came out! loved the styling and uniqueness of the car. when I found out olds was phasing out in 03, I had to have one before they were extinct! have since sold the 95 and am in love with the 03! beautiful car--no huge mechanical problems since ive had it--going on 73,000 miles strong! always getting compliments on it and just sad that olds went to pasture and took the aurora with it! couldnt you just imagine a 2014 olds aurora? I can, even if only in my dreams!

  No Luck - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By bh_okedoke - September 8 - 10:00 am

  I traded my 98 Aurora for the 01 model. In the last 10 months, the following replacements (all under warranty) - Steering column, power steering pump, ignition switch, ABS control module, transmission overhaul, and as of this weekend, the alternator. Mind you, this car has under 31K miles... I think I got the car built on Monday morning!

  Pretty Good - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Paul - August 31 - 10:00 am

  Overall, I am very happy with the car. However, I would like more power and better build quality. A 5-speed would be nice too.

  We drove our 1998 from PA to Oklahoma. Not one problem with the car. Great riding.

  why is this going? - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Bishop - August 23 - 6:00 am

  The car is great fun on the road. It has plenty of passing power and great acceleration. The seat are comfortable and the interior is well designed. I have not been driving very long (only 16), but when I am in the car on my way to school or out with friends, it is a great car, there is nothing "wrong" with it. If you need a big sedan, but want to fun car also, than this car deserves a test drive.
